I went with a friend who got it done. It was pretty quick, but you could smell... burning. He said it felt like rubber bands being snapped around his eyes, not that bad. He had a rough night sleeping but they give you something for that. It's about 5 years out from surgery and he's noticed his sight going downhill again, but not enough to require glasses.

Yeah, they give you steroidal eye drops that help speed healing.

When I got home, I went to sleep and when I woke up, it felt like I had about five eyelashes in my eyes. So I went back to sleep.

4 people at my work had it done and 3 of them ended up having to wear reading glasses

I wore contacts/glasses since grade school, 20/800 vision in my left eye. Walked out of surgery with 20/40, which improved to 20/20. That was 15 yrs ago, now I use reading glasses some. Definitely would do it again.
